Papyrus Sheet Translated

Post by Winged Isis »

A large papyrus sheet discovered in Egypt in 1934 and dating to the 5th-6th century A.D. has been translated for the first time and consists of a prayer, some of which would have been inscribed on a physical object to make what is known as a textual amulet.
